In his statement on the subject, the EU High Representative for Foreign Relations and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, reminded that there were attacks that killed an Italian tourist in Tel Aviv last night, and stated that the EU condemns these acts of violence.
Noting that the increase in violence occurred after the rising tensions and conflicts in the holy places, including the use of force by the Israeli police in the Masjid al-Aqsa, Borrell said:
“The EU condemns violence at holy sites and reminds us that the status of these sites must be preserved. We also condemn the indiscriminate rocket attacks against Israel from Gaza and Lebanese territory. We also expressly condemn the terrorist attacks that killed two Israelis and seriously injured one.” “
Borrell stated that Israel has the right to defend itself, but the response must be proportionate, and called for an immediate end to violence and everything to be done to prevent the spread of the conflict.
